The U.S. and its allies have sunk billions of dollars of aid into Afghanistan since the invasion to oust the Taliban 18 years ago, but the country remains mired in poverty. Signs of hardship are everywhere, from children begging in the streets to entire families _ including children as young as five or six _ working at brick kilns in the sweltering heat.(AP Photo/Rahmat Gul)
